Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The field of view in the grassland is excellent, and you can see very far.

The sentry was the first to notice their return and quickly notified the armed militia to report to the village!

This mission took them about three hours in total.

The journey took less than half the time.

Wait until Zong Shen and others arrive at the entrance of the village.

Mayor Spike and Mr. Mars both hurriedly walked out of the village.

When Mr. Mars saw Mariel riding a prairie horse with Aysia, he ran over excitedly.

He picked up Mariel who was riding on horseback.

"My daughter! My Mariel!"

"How are you?"

"Did those gangsters hurt you?"

Master Mars asked with concern.

"No...no, they didn't touch me because they wanted ransom."

Mariel said timidly.

Mr. Mars felt relieved and hugged her hard again before putting her down.

He turned around and walked up to Zong Shen who was riding a blood-tusked wild boar.

He bowed and saluted with a sincere expression.

"Sir, you are the benefactor of our family!"

"If there is a chance, I would like to invite you to my home for dinner tomorrow night!"

[Mission: Save Mariel]

[Requirement: Rescue Mariel from the gangsters and escort her safely to Mars]

【completed】

[Rewards: 1,500 continental general dinars, 100 reputation points, Avalon grassland cattle × 10, small ranch construction map × 1, friendship from Master Mars]

A quest prompt appears.

Zong Shen nodded slightly and replied politely.

“It’s just a little effort, I’m honored to be able to take care of it for you!”

"I may not have time tomorrow night, but I will definitely come to visit when I have a chance!"

A light group appeared in his storage compartment, which was the [Pasture Construction Plan].

The rewarded money and reputation have been automatically stored in the warehouse.

Master Mars looked at Zong Shen with friendly eyes.

He ordered his servants to bring in ten strong prairie cattle.

Zong Shen got off the pig and walked to Mariel.

"Mariel, please pay attention to safety in the future!"

"If you have the chance, you and your father are welcome to visit my territory."

Mariel nodded and said suddenly.

"You will become a great lord!"

In response to this, Zong Shen just smiled. This little girl has the potential to become a heroic talent. It is good to establish a good relationship in advance.

At this time, the old village chief also came over.

Zong Shen took out [Gangster’s Left Ear×37].

One bloody ear fell to the ground.

The old village leader Spike glanced at it, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"Thank you, sir, for getting rid of a big scourge for Sitano Village!"

"From now on, you are our friend in Sitano Village!"

The old village chief said three good words in a row.

Zong Shen has proven himself with his strength.

The task prompt appears and the task is completed!

[Mission: Suppress the bandits]

[Requirement: Completely annihilate the gangsters who recently ravaged Sitano Village, and obtain their left ears as mission credentials]

【completed】

[Reward: 1,000 mainland general dinars, 200 reputation points, friendship in Citano Village]

Zong Shen now has 10,520 mainland general dinars and 1,200 reputation points.

At this moment, the old village chief suddenly asked.

"Sir, have you found any cattle or sheep lost in our village in the bandit camp?"

Hearing this, Zong Shen shook his head with a normal expression.

Then he said seriously.

"Dear Mayor Spike, we didn't find any cattle or sheep."

"I think it might have been eaten by those gangsters."

Zong Shen said nonsense.

Are there any cows?

There are no cows!

The old village chief looked at his team and had already noticed Luna's absence.

An intriguing smile appeared on his face, he shook his head slightly and said pointedly.

"Oh, those gangsters are not good people."

Zong Shen also nodded.

"Yeah, it's really not a good thing!"

The village chief didn't say anything, turned around and left silently.

He also had no intention of leaving Zong Shen to eat.

Not at all as polite as Mr. Mars.

The old fox had figured out where the cows had gone.

This old man is not open-minded and generous enough. Most of those cows are Mars’ masters, and they don’t say anything!

However, Zong Shen didn't care because a new system prompt appeared in front of him.

[Your friendship level with Sitano Village reaches Friendly]

[Enable recruitment permission]

[Villers can be recruited every 168 hours, and the number of recruits is affected by reputation, friendship, and territory prosperity]

【(Click to recruit)】

You can recruit once a week, and the quantity and quality are different each time.

But for Zong Shen, it was equivalent to having a stable source of population.

He chose to recruit.

A stream of information refreshed.

[Because of your reputation and yearning for your territory]

[Sitano villager (Gorgi), qualification (ordinary) voluntarily joins your territory]

[Sitano villagers (Sims), qualifications (ordinary) voluntarily join your territory]

[Sitano villager (Rio), qualified (good) voluntarily joins your territory]

[Sitano villager (Lopez), qualification (ordinary) voluntarily joins your territory]

[Sitano villager (Pigsy), qualification (stupid) voluntarily joins your territory]

…

[The total monthly salary is 80 mainland general dinars (reduced by level 4 command) to pay]

A total of five villagers were recruited.

Among them, one has good qualifications, three have ordinary qualifications, and one has dull qualifications.

Five villagers walked out of the village one after another.

There were three men and two women carrying their luggage respectively. They looked very ordinary, but they all looked young.

It is often the young people in the village who yearn for the outside world.

They came to Zong Shen and bowed slightly.

"My lord, I am happy to serve you!"

…

"May we create a great territory together!"

Zong Shen greeted them separately. As the first batch of farmers recruited from aboriginal forces, he still valued them very much.

After absorbing these five farmers, Zong Shen's command value has reached the red line, becoming 63/67.

It's only four points short of reaching the upper limit.

However, he has not added any points yet. He can temporarily solve the current problem by increasing his charm and command.

However, if you want to truly solve the shackles of rule, the best way is to recruit a hero.

Hero-level characters, like lords, have four major attributes and twenty-four passive skills.

You can open treasure chests, collect exploded items, and initiate construction.

After Zong Shen has his first hero.

It will solve many problems.

In addition to control, construction and exploration can all be done by heroes.

There is no need to think about how you are now, unable to do anything at all, wishing you could break it in half in one day and use it.

Now the most difficult material to repair the natural altar is the purple soul.

This means that he must kill a purple rare guy!
